A hand-held or otherwise portable or spatial or temporal performance-based image capture device includes one or more lenses, an aperture and a main sensor for capturing an original main image. A secondary sensor and optical system are for capturing a reference image that has temporal and spatial overlap with the original image. The device performs an image processing method including capturing the main image with the main sensor and the reference image with the secondary sensor, and utilizing information from the reference image to enhance the main image. The main and secondary sensors are contained together within a housing.

Handheld electronic devices are provided that have remote control functionality and gesture recognition features. The handheld electronic device may have remote control functionality in addition to cellular telephone, music player, or handheld computer functionality. The handheld electronic devices may have a touch sensitive display screen. The handheld electronic devices may recognize gestures performed by a user on the touch sensitive display screen. The handheld electronic devices may generate remote control signals from gestures that the handheld electronic device may recognize. A media system may receive the remote control signals and may take appropriate action. The touch sensitive display screen may be used to present the user with information about the media system such as the current volume.

The present invention relates to a method for asynchronously storing massive data generated during high speed video measurement, the method including the following steps: step (1), constructing a high speed video measurement hardware model; and step (2) realizing asynchronous I/O real-time storage in a high speed solid state disk on the basis of Windows core programming. Compared with the prior art, the present invention solves the problems of incompleteness or frame drop during real-time storage of massive data, and realizes real-time and lossless storage of massive high speed data.

An imaging device includes an imaging sensor that outputs an imaging signal representing a sequence of frame images of a photographic subject. A buffer memory temporarily stores data of the sequence of frame images from the imaging signal. A release switch is actuated by a user to output an image-taking signal. A controller, upon receipt of the image-taking signal from the release switch: (i) generates moving image data from at least some of the plurality of frame images stored in the buffer memory, (ii) generates at least one piece of still image data based on at least one frame image of the plurality of frame images stored in the buffer memory, and (iii) associates the moving image data with the still image data and records the moving image data and the still image data in a recording medium.

Provided is a monitoring system including an image obtaining apparatus and an image processing apparatus. The image obtaining apparatus includes: a camera; a beacon sensor; a processor configured to match beacon information obtained by detecting, by the beacon sensor, a beacon attached to an object existing in a monitoring region, to an image of the monitoring region captured by the camera; and a memory storing the image matched with the beacon information.
